Because ASAHL, who determines the Theme for Black History Month has
noted that the Theme for 2018 is "African Americans in Times of War,"
therefore, The Diggs-Johnson Museum, located at 2426 Offutt Road, Granite, MD
will present a program about a group of African American men who competed with
like groups in soldierly skills in the late 1870s. The organization we will
talk about was called "The Monumental City Guards," where the majority of the
men came from the Baltimore Metropolitan area, including Baltimore County.A talk will be given by Louis S. Diggs,
Local Historian and Author, on this All-African American unit that was accepted
by the Maryland National Guard in 1883.The unit was eventually known as the First Separate Company, and was
ordered to active duty during the Spanish American War; World War I; World War
II, and was the only unit ordered to active duty by the Maryland National Guard
to support the Korean War in August 1950. In 1947 the First Separate was
converted to the 231st Transportation Truck Battalion with three
Truck Companies, and was still segregated. Louis S. Diggs served with this unit
in June 1950 and served in Korea with them.He wrote a book about the history of
this unit from their beginning in 1883 through the ending of the Korean War,
"Forgotten Road Warriors." The program begins at 10:00am on Saturday, June 30th
and ends at 12:00pm. Admission is free; however, because of damage to the
Museum during the freezing winter, we strongly request generous donations.Parking is extremely limited, therefore,
